Last week a vehicle was stopped by Police in Ettington. After a number of checks by HMRC, they discovered that the vehicle had been running on Kerosene (heating oil). This vehicle has been seized and the owner /operator can incur a heavy fine of upto £1000.

We are aware that heating oil is expensive and we want to give you some crime prevention ideas. Alarms are a great way of alerting you if anyone tampers with the tank and may prevent thefts. I have attached some links below that may help you prevent your oil being stolen. These are a selection, but other companies are available on the market.
